Interpretation of claudication (ie. intermittent claudication, rest pain)

The location of claudication pain correlates to the site of occlusion. For instance, the blue shaded area in the picture above would most likely correspond to an occlusion in the femoral atery/common inguinal artery, the orange shaded area = popliteal/tibial arteries, the green shaded area = distal tibial (ie. PT or DP).
